...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST
SUNDAY...
* LOCATION...Eastern Massachusetts coast from Salisbury to Lynn
and Nahant including other communities along Boston`s North
Shore. The warning also covers Quincy and Martha`s Vineyard.
* TIDAL DEPARTURE...Storm surge of 2.3 to 3.0 feet.
* TIMING...Through the time of tonight`s high tide.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor to moderate coastal flooding is
likely for tonight`s high tide with one or two feet of
inundation possible in some low lying areas. In a few
locations, flood waters from prior high tides may remain
through the next high tide due to slow drainage. Although
tonight`s high tide will be lower than the previous three high
tides, some areas have become more vulnerable from the prior
high tides. In addition, high surf will persist from lingering
large swells from the departing storm along those shoreline
exposed to the open ocean.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Still more erosion is likely from high
surf on top of elevated water levels, including Salisbury,
Plum Island, and portions of the Edgartown shoreline.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
Category thresholds are based on still water levels. Impacts
may be greater, depending upon wave action.
